RO2023 Webinar: Doctor, am I dying? The Subtle Art of End-of-life Decision Conversations. Dr M Muller
As clinicians we all encounter patients in the last days / weeks / months of their lives. Medicine has a huge curative focus and often we are ill prepared to assist patients with what is important to them in the time that they have left.
